Some hospital beds come with a head and/or foot board as well as built-in semi or full bed safety rails.

There are basically three kinds of hospital beds: manual, semi automatic and electric. The main factors separating them is price and ease of use. Full Electric Hospital Bed For patients who can afford it, a fully electronic adjustable bed may be a good match. These beds come equipped with patient control pads that allow the foot, knees and head of the bed to be adjusted or for the entire bed to be raised or lowered. This can assist mobile patients in getting into or out of the bed. Several fully electronic beds have a “wall hugger” travel motion that reduces the amount of space needed to adjust the bed. Sturdy half or full bed rails help keep the patient safely in bed while at rest and can be easily moved out of the way by caregivers for easy access.
For patients who may require more supervision, these beds can be equipped with controls at the foot of the bed so that caregivers, rather than the patient, can control the bed. These beds also come with caster wheels that can be firmly locked when the bed needs to stay in place. Another handy available feature is a battery back-up unit in case of a power failure. Semi Electric Hospital Bed A more affordable option for patients is the semi-automatic bed. These beds usually include all the functionality of the fully automatic beds except they come equipped with a manual crank to raise and lower the bed height. The most affordable option in hospital beds is the fully manual model. These typically have two hand cranks located at the foot of the bed which control the head, foot, knees and bed height. One possible disadvantage of this style is that the patient usually has to depend on the caregiver to make these adjustments. Specialty Hospital Beds: Bariatric, Low Beds & Pediatric Beds
Three additional specialty hospital beds are available to fit specific patient needs. They are bariatric hospital beds, low height hospital beds and pediatric hospital beds. Bariatric hospital beds have all the features described above, but their reinforced steel frames can safely accommodate patients whose weight ranges from 600 to up to 1,000 lbs. For patients who cannot use or do not want hospital rails but are still at risk for falling out of bed, special low height hospital beds are available. Low beds typically range from 9.5" min. - 20" max. (measured from floor to bed deck). Pediatric hospital beds are for patients from 2 years old to adolescents up to 5 feet tall and have extra low height settings to accommodate small patients. The most important thing when considering the purchase of a hospital bed, besides cost and function, is how to best suit the needs of the patient. Patients and caregivers should work together with their healthcare worker or doctor to determine what features are needed to keep them safe, comfortable and properly cared for.
What are Safety Issues to Be Aware of When Purchasing a Hospital Bed? Because most hospital beds use electricity, it is important that all the manufacturer’s guidelines are followed and the bed is set up properly and checked regularly for frayed cords or damaged control pads. There should be enough room around the bed so it moves freely and is placed away from nearby obstructions. It should be kept clean and dust- free. Bed rails should be kept up at all times when the patient is in the bed to keep the patient from accidentally falling out of bed. Bed controls should be put where the patient can reach them and a nightlight should be placed nearby so the patient can see the control panel. A phone should also be placed near the bed in case of emergencies. Hospital bed wheels should be in the locked position at all times unless the bed is being moved.

What Kind of Mattress Should I Use With a Hospital Bed? There are a number of different mattresses on the market for hospital beds, including mattresses with inner springs as well as air filled, foam filled or gel filled. For long-term hospital bed users, there are special alternating pressure relief mattresses that are designed to prevent pressure wounds. To determine the best choice of mattress, consult your doctor or healthcare provider. No matter what kind of mattress is used, waterproof covers are usually recommended. Careful attention should be paid to make sure the mattress is properly sized to prevent gaps or possible patient entrapment.
